 NO! Kickstart disk was only designed for the first machine - A1000,
since then, 256k ROM has replaced it for A500 and A2000. On A3000, it
has the new 2.0 ROM(s), 512k. It also comes with the older 1.3 ROM
images on HD for compatability reason(2.0 is not 100% stable, yet.)

 And as I pointed out before, CLI is NOT necessary for running ordinary
programs, such as WP, DTP, etc. I use it to program, in which case, I
find CLI much more convinient than GUI interface, and I'm sure this is
true on any machine if the machine offers both options.(Well, for most
people).
